Easy to use, simple to learn, and offers real-time observability
We primarily use the solution for security as well as application monitoring. We use it for security as well.  The solution has been very critical for monitoring. It offers real-time observability. We're able to catch real issues right away.  We can manage multiple screens with multiple panels.…

Offers real-time monitoring and tracks resource usage to ensure efficient compute resource allocation, provides valuable insights into the virtual environment but limitations in full-stack visibility
VMware Aria is suitable for infrastructure visibility, but for a comprehensive overview that includes applications and services, other tools are required. The monitoring landscape is getting bigger. When it comes to infrastructure monitoring, we need more visibility. VMware needs to integrate more related applications and third-party products. That would make it more appealing to an audience beyond the VMware team. Let me explain the scenario: Suppose I have a third-party product deployed on top of VMware, like Red Hat OpenShift containers. I generate a report using vROps, and it gives me recommendations related to OpenShift. But I can't apply those recommendations directly because Red Hat (or any third-party vendor) has its own resource management approach. This creates a conflict. The VMware team, limited to their view of VMware, might think vROps or Aria recommendations are the gospel. But the respective application's monitoring and operations team has a different perspective on resource management. This disagreement leads to operational conflicts. Now, I understand you can't completely blame VMware for that; each vendor has its own way of doing things. But VMware should somehow bridge this gap. The recommendations coming out of vROps or Aria need to be agreeable to others.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It helps a lot because we can troubleshoot issues pretty easily."
"We can ingest logs and make reports out of them. It is a good tool which can help us monitor any issues."
"Technical support is always great."
"We use it to ingest Windows domain controller logs. We use this to monitor if anyone is placed in particular administration groups that potentially shouldn't be. It helps us keep track of people."
"Sumo Logic Security is a good solution for searching the logs and identifying the issues."
"For many of our services, we use Sumo Logic to track errors and send notifications to our Slack channel, if there are issues. Then, we have our support people monitoring this, and they can react quickly."
"We can integrate threat intelligence solutions into the product."
"The solution is quite stable."
More Sumo Logic Security pros
"It allows us to gain a comprehensive overview of our infrastructure."
"One of the things I like about it is its interface. When it comes to generating reports on VMs and stuff, it's very quick. This is very handy for the technical team, who need to generate reports quickly. So that's really good."
"The solution is quite user-friendly."
"The setup and installation are very easy."
"Log Insight correlates with the VMware product log. It can assemble the logs you want, making it easier to find the output, incident, or keyword you want to search."
"It is a highly stable solution...It is a highly scalable solution."
"It gives the customer a quick overview, so they don't have to dig. There's a clear dashboard with many sensors in a single space. He gets a helicopter view of his environment, but he can investigate further if there are serious issues. It's pretty user-friendly."
"We use the on-premises version of this solution for log analysis and to find details about certain issues."

Cons

"It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up correctly based on everything we had to do. In the end, we had to send everything over HTTP, which was sort of a stop-gap."
"There are some API gaps that are missing."
"The solution should improve its UI."
"I would like to see improvement in the user experience when configuring things, ingesting logs, and creating ports."
"In my opinion, this solution has a steep learning curve and requires practice if users to be able to use this tool very efficiently."
"We would like the ability to drill down into a dashboard and get into deeper levels."
"From the network segmentation side, there is some discrepancy in log onboarding. The tool needs to improve direct API integrations, login integration, native login integration, etc."
"There needs to be improvement on imported data which can be used within Sumo Logic to do more advanced queries."
More Sumo Logic Security cons
"The tool does not provide a centralized pane for monitoring."
"The dashboard needs to be improved because this is what I need to monitor my infrastructure."
"I think that it should be able to integrate with other third-party backup and recovery solutions, more that it does now."
"Log Insight should be better at dealing with audits and security logs. We use another product called QRadar for that."
"Paid or free does not matter, but it is complex to find good training material for vRealize Log Insight."
"Documentation is lacking, including some guide as to how to use the expressions. It is not clear how to look for a log, for example. Some examples in the documentation might be helpful. I think that VMware had good documentation, but it's no longer hosted. The documentation is not as easy to understand as it was before."
"It needs better integration with third-party analytics tools."
"The solution isn't user-friendly for admins."
More VMware Aria Operations for Logs cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing has been cheaper than some of the competing tools, like Splunk."
"The only limit to the scalability of the product for us is how much we are willing to pay."
"Storing logs in Sumo Logic Security is charged GB-wise, which is a little higher than other products."
"The price scaling comes in a bit expensive."
"Purchasing the solution through the AWS Marketplace is very easy."
"The AWS Marketplace pricing is fairly reasonable for what it does. I wouldn't call it expensive, but I wouldn't call it cheap. It is pretty good."
"I don't pay the bill. I've heard the AWS Marketplace pricing is high, but I like the value."
"Purchasing Sumo Logic through the AWS Marketplace was a simple step."
More Sumo Logic Security pricing and cost advice
"The license cost for any other monitoring tool is too high compared to this product."
"Pricing could always be lower. If it were free, I would be more satisfied."
"The licensing cost for vRealize Log Insight is a little higher, so in terms of cost, it all depends upon what kind of environment you have. If you have a complete virtualized environment, or at least you're using a ninety-five percent virtualized environment, then vRealize Log Insight will play a very good role because it is a VMware component, so it has very tight integration with other VMware components and systems. This means you don't have to procure any other monitoring and management tool, and you don't need a separate automation tool. vRealize Log Insight will have an upper hand if your environment is purely virtualized on VMware. If you're using a mix of physical and virtual components, for example, a 50:50 ratio, then you need to have a third-party component to manage overall monitoring."
"Pricing is good because it is part of the suite package. It comes in a bundle for us."
"I think it is a reasonably priced product."
"I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The pricing has been updated recently."
"I am not sure what the exact cost is. However, I believe the vRealize suite costs $2,500.00 per year."
